No alcohol or psychedelics in B.C. man after police-involved death, toxicologist says
Toxicology found cannabis but no alcohol or psychedelics in Gray; the 2015 death led to a homicide ruling and a police conduct review involving seven officers.
- Forensic toxicologist Dr. Aaron Shapiro said that no alcohol or psychedelics LSD or psilocybin were detected in Myles Gray during a public hearing into a 2015 police-involved death on March 6, 2026.
- The encounter began after a garden-hose complaint, and a 2023 inquest detailed severe injuries including a fractured eye socket and crushed voice box.
- Toxicology tests showed no alcohol or psychedelics, but a good indication that cannabis was consumed; experts said timing is unknown because it can remain in the body for weeks.
- A coroner’s jury ruled Gray's death a homicide, while a police discipline authority cleared the officers of misconduct in 2024, producing separate official outcomes.
- The Office of the Police Complaint Commissioner is holding a public oversight hearing examining the actions of seven Vancouver police officers as of March 6, 2026.
